Markdown

Markdown is a simple and lightweight syntax for formatting many types of web content. You have complete control over how the text appears; bolding or italicizing phrases, inserting photos, and making lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Markdown is mostly simply plain text with a few non-alphabetic characters tossed in like #,+.

why we use markdown:

1. Websites, papers, notes, books, presentations, email messages, and technical documentation are all can be created using it.
2. Files containing Markdown-formatted content may be opened with almost any program.
3. You may import your Markdown files into another Markdown application if you decide you don’t like the Markdown program you’re presently using.
4. Markdown-formatted text may be created on any device running any operating system.
5. You can read your Markdown-formatted content with a text editing program even if the application you’re using stops operating in the future.
6. Markdown is supported by many desktop and web-based apps, including Reddit and GitHub.
